DENVER — Food banks in the Denver area are feeling the squeeze of inflation, as reports show a 9.1% increase from a year ago in June. Between higher costs for food, a slowdown in donations and an increase in families needing help, food banks are feeling more pressure.
“We had probably 50 extra cars of new people,” said Lana Lopes, a volunteer site coordinator of a mobile pantry in Aurora. “And you’ve got to remember that when I say 50 cars, half of them have double families. So, it’s really like 100.” At a time when the organization is seeing higher need from families, its costs to operate are climbing dramatically, too. Puller called it a “perfect storm," which has lead to a tripling of food costs compared to pre-pandemic numbers.
